NT's post rebalance.

**Kintaii** · Mar 29th, 2011, 21:14:44

Getting the doc out to the Profs has been a bit delayed unfortunately, just due to the amount of work Genele and I have been doing to the document the last week or so - There've been a few major changes we've been putting effort into the last couple of days which, while causing a bit of a delay in getting it to the Professionals, is stuff we woulda had to fix/improve eventually *anyway* so it's all time well spent.

The document should be out to the Pros this week, however, and with any luck we'll have a public version ready for show in the next couple of weeks. =)

**sannz** · Mar 30th, 2011, 23:53:21

*hopes this is the profs' reaction*

**Nanofat** · Mar 31st, 2011, 00:14:13

I'm not sure if raping them is entirely appropriate.

Kintaii gave me the okay to tell you -SOME- stuff..so here goes:

- Triples and Doubles have been taken out, but in their place is Quintuple Nuke that you can cast every 6 minutes. Plenty of pain i think.

- Nullity Sphere has been changed. All damage dealt to you will still be null, but all damage that you WOULD have taken is absorbed into the Nullity Sphere program. After the nano ends, you can use 1/2 of the amount of damage absorbed as a "super nuke" towards your opponent.

- Kiting will no longer exist. For every mob following you, you lose 75 runspeed. Fair, i think.

- NT's calms have been changed to be different than crat and trader calms to be used more towards PVP than PVM. Our calms will not be usable on Mobs, but in PVP, you can calm people for 1/5/10 and 25 seconds. Your opponent will not be able to move/attack/heal/perk, but if they get hit again, the calm breaks.

That is all I am allowed to tell for now...

oh... April 1st is tomorrow...=p

Eh what?
So i can nuke tara for 435435345 of damage after getting assaulted by 45 angry clams, oh yes how sweet

Sounds a bit too good to be true as well.

- Kiting will no longer exist. For every mob following you, you lose 75 runspeed. Fair, i think.

Lol what? sounds extremly ridiculous if nt would be the only prof getting a snare when mobs aggro it, i can't really belive this

- NT's calms have been changed to be different than crat and trader calms to be used more towards PVP than PVM. Our calms will not be usable on Mobs, but in PVP, you can calm people for 1/5/10 and 25 seconds. Your opponent will not be able to move/attack/heal/perk, but if they get hit again, the calm breaks.

Sounds like a stun to me, i belive fc's plan on having anything not being able to do anything for more than ~7-10 sec is over kill, so i can't really belive this either.
And not being calmers in pvm any more? come'on ... hard to belive as well.

oh... April 1st is tomorrow...=p

Yeah well i hope you jumped the gun on that

**DecemberSky** · Mar 31st, 2011, 08:01:53

well, if I made it -too- believable, people would just believe me and not find it funny at all. hm hm hm =p

**nanoforcer** · Mar 31st, 2011, 08:04:26

What i *would* like to see is a sort of "hail marry" nuke that would deplete all of your pool and do damage on a 1:1 scale or something like that, seems apropiate

so having 50k pool = 50k nuke (base) now that would be fun

You had me going for a second, then I saw calming players for 25s. lol.
TBH, seems anything is possible with this 'rebalancing' so you never can tell

**crattey** · Mar 31st, 2011, 16:24:57

I wouldn't rule out 'quintuples' entirely, tbh... seems like something they might do.

**Kintaii** · Mar 31st, 2011, 16:46:39

idk i was thinking sextuples myself

**crattey** · Mar 31st, 2011, 16:47:39

Kintaii said 'sex', hihi.

Kintaii seems so happy... Beware

**Kintaii** · Mar 31st, 2011, 18:45:15

Just excited, really. This is the document I've had the most involvement with, and even though the finalized product is the combined vision of both myself and Genele (and the feedback we've gotten over the years from you guys, of course) I've got a lotta pride in what we're going to show you guys. I'm not going to say that *everyone* is going to be thrilled and happy with what we've done, at least on first glance, but I think that once people wrap their head around the newer systems we're introducing for NT they'll be pleased with the design direction we're taking the profession in. =)
